Gilded Heart Films

Professional, creative, knowledgeable, receptive, willing... I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gilded Heart Films. My goal was to find a creator I could work with and that would be open to my questions and ideas while still being in full creative control. Adrian did exactly that. The films he created were stunning, professional looking, affordable, of high quality, and were made with care without a doubt. I would absolutely recommend Gilded Heart Films to anyone looking for a videographer!!

Adrian is amazing! We booked him for our August 2023 wedding and he showed up early, was with us every step of the way and he was amazing to work with even after when putting the highlight together. My husband and I love our highlight and have teared up multiple times rewatching it. Thank you so much

I cannot say enough good things about Adrian and his work. On the day of my wedding he was kind, patient, and flexible. He made us feel special and worked with our other vendors to capture special moments without making us feel overwhelmed. He came prepared and ready to work, and made us feel comfortable throughout the day. When we got our video it was absolutely amazing, it brought my husband and I to tears (me more so than him). I have gone back and watched it a handful of times since receiving it. Unfortunately as a bride you don't always get to see all of your wedding day and how much everyone enjoyed it, but having a videographer there made it so I could still enjoy the aspects of my wedding that I missed on the day of. Adrian was incredible, and I am so thankful we went with as our videographer.

From the very beginning of the booking process, Adrian was amazing. Anyone trying to plan a wedding, especially in post-panini times, is probably going to feel like we did. Totally overwhelmed by the sheer amount of moving parts required, the vendors you need to contact, the vendors you need to follow up with (while walking on eggshells, afraid of Bridezilla-ing a vendor you REALLY want away) after you sent in a form request on their site and its been like nine days and did they get it or did they not get it, are they just busy, why didn't they reply? Send another one? Email the address on the site? Keep waiting?!?! Adrian got back to us super quickly. He set up a zoom call that went so smoothly and wasn't awkward at all. He explained the whole process to us, we even bonded about being unapologetic Cat People. We wanted to book him SO badly just based off his work on his site but after meeting him we definitely wanted him there for our day. I'm genuinely so glad he was available and that it worked out. The way he worked with our photog team, if I hadn't known better, I would have guessed they were all seasoned vets at working together. That's something I didn't expect. They communicated the whole time, shared ideas on shots, pointed out what looked best from what angle, and collaborated together seamlessly. I threw a wrench in the plans a little by being an anxious bride that didn't eat enough the morning of (tale as old as time) and sat in a corner vibrating like a nervous chihuahua when a big bulk of the shooting of getting ready and everything was meant to be happening. Adrian gave me space to vibrate back to earth and eat orange slices like a goblin in the corner and from the footage you can't even tell there was a gap in what was captured. What was captured was magical. Pure magic. Not only did he get us the raw footage and the social media highlight super quickly, I was stunned at the sweetness dripping out of every single frame. Adrian has an amazing eye for what to film. Not only that, he is the chillest dude and even for someone typically as photo-shy as I am, I was actually super comfortable? I can't even remember seeing him or his associate during the reception. They slunk around like alley cats but got everything important that we wanted to see again. We even got the videos before any sneak peeks from the photogs and the screenshots from the videos were SO good, I used them for our Christmas cards. I've included them with this review. Videography was so worth it. It captures something more than pictures. The moment my now-husband saw me for the first time, the way his neck started quivering. Our little glances and smiles at each other between big moments. Me wiping my tears as I dance with my brother, and the watery laugh that follows. Every moment is woven through with the spirit of the day. The day goes by in a blur. You're full of adrenaline and when you wake up sore, like you slept in a cement mixer, it's hard to remember specific details. All you remember is vignettes, an overall feeling. The human mind is an imperfect vessel, really. The highlight video reminded me of a thousand tiny moments that made the day perfect that were lost in the rush of it all, that would remain lost, without Adrian to give it to us to keep forever. Our day would not have been the same without him.
